Poems from the Mud Room

“Tantalizingly Irreverent; Camner’S Work Smacks Of The Deliciously Absurd With A Point. He Is A Brilliantly Bizarre Poet And Master Of The Surreal.” - Lenny Dellarocca The Poetry Museum. “Camner Defies The Traditional Aesthetic Concepts Of Poetry. He Targets A World Of Ideas In A Rather Active Way As Opposed To The More Passive Meditative Aspects Found In Most Poetry. There Is A Linguistic Simplicity To His Poems An Almost Transparent Quality Over A Rather Complex Web Of Experience And Thought. His Poetry Is Life… ‘All You Have To Do Is Look’ – The Obvious And Not So Obvious.”. - Marta Braunstein Editor Cambio Literary Journal . “Camner Writes In Terse Stark Real Verse That Would Make Hemingwayraise His Scotch Glass In Honor.” - New Times Newspaper. “Camner’S Poetic Style Is Reminiscent Of Raymond Chandler’S Detective Writing; Descriptive And Terse With Interesting Plot Lines. His Characters Are Certainly The Product Of A Vivid Imagination.”. - The Comstock Review. “Camner’S ‘Humour Noir’ Is Apparent In His Poetics His Spirited Voice And Unabashed Freedom – So Alive Even In His Earliest Poems.”. - Peter Hargitai. “A Literary Detour And Well Worth The Trip.”. - Village Voice
